[Mate 8 General] farzamirani:
Hey every one update to b320 ...the best firmware ever...the batterylife is great....the android system battery consuming is solved how ever the overnight consumption keeps draining which I think is because of social networking apps like whatsapp.... if you unistall whats App or turn the wifi off during sleep you barely lose 1% in 8 hours...doze mode works nice and the battery manager hase become more reliable. Finally the battery performance got better at last with this update...thanks huawei
[Mate 8 General] Deephou5:
Yes, I love that ROG mode. That should be a standard on every phone to save battery.

This is outstanding !! 10h SOT and i still have 15% ! im using performance mode for more speed and i turn off 4g when im on wifi, im using B180 rooted.
[Mate 8 General] Pfeffernuss:
In "need" of a new PC keyboard had a few streaks of review-reading-sessions as per usual.

Wifi (small interruption, router firmware update) and 4G on, GPS and Bluetooth off, brightness around 25%, using B350b Rom and Smart CPU mode.

Amazed at the outcome. This, for a 6 inch device, remains truly remarkable :good:

So yes, B3xxx roms can also have an amazing battery life. You don't need to stay on B1xx for that :cool:

im in b103 and get 7-8 SOT, now ota is b180

recommended to upgrade to 180? which build is better?

ota flash is better or dload method?

Ota flash or dload method - no matters. Many users believe that B180 is the most stable rom with very good battery. :D

Think I'm going to go back to B180 as well. Not had good (well AS good) battery life since. Also managed over 9hrs sot on B180 which I've never had since.
[Mate 8 General] Androidzor:
I'm on my 2nd charge since I got my new Mate 8.

33% left, 7hr SOT

21hr since last full charge

I should be able to reach 8hr-9hr SOT (regular use: a lot of browsing, whatsap, youtube, no gaming, etc.)

I have no idea if this is any good for an android device. Since this is my first android device since using only iPhones since 3gs. :)

----

On my 1st charge I only reached 6hr SOT. That could be because I was busy setting the phone up. Also, I used two google accounts to sync gmail, agenda, etc. Now it is only 1.
[Mate 8 General] MathZ:
Help me

Guys, i bought this phone 2 weeks ago.

but, i think something is wrong, SO and Android System always get like 70% of the battery usage, as example, in 36 hours since 100% i can get 3 hours SOT and 3% of battery even with only whatsapp installed.

i have NXT-L09C25B121, tried factory reset, delete google play services cache and delete apps.

Have you any idea what is happening? Can be the firmware? i've thought in update to another build but i dont want to lose 4G.

Greetings

PD, sorry for my english :(

i can actually recommend kernel adiutor in the play store, i myself switched to that from trickster mod :) nothing complicated there btw, just switch cpu governor to powersave and ull vastly improve your battery life ;)

Powersave governor = cpu uses lowest possible frequency all the time = slow as molasses :good:

not really... UI is still super smooth, its not like higher cpu clocks are blocked, just that the cpu only clocks higher when its reaaally necessary :)

[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
sorry, not true for the mate 8 though... higher clocks ARE reached, its not locked to the lowest possible at all times. just that the cpu only clocks higher when its absolutely necessary and not directly as a preemptive measure. when i take a look right now at my frequency table, it lists around 40 min. out of 12h active time / non deep sleep in cpu clocks higher than min clock. sure, its not much, but its proof that the cpu is indeed able to reach higher clocks when necessary on powersave governor :)

Sent from my Huawei Mate 8 NXT-AL10
[Mate 8 General] Pfeffernuss:
It's proof that the powersave governor is not working as it should on the Mate 8, it's that simple.

Powersave = locked lowest freqeuency possible. Adiutor isn't working / the Mate 8 overrules it by itself.
[Mate 8 General] realista87:
u are right. powersave = ALWAYS lowest clock.

maybe in mate 8 the powersave is SIMILAR TO "CONSERVATIVE governor" , that is like ondemand but with SLOWER raise on cpu clock.....
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
i think so, too. theres definitely a difference in battery life and frequency table when switching to powersave governor, so adiutor is working.

im on C185B180 now but still happy with battery life :) i get SOT values in the range of 9-11h.

I'm on B320.

Any ideas?
[Mate 8 General] rir01:
Go to battery manager/consumption level and find what's leaking. If you get 3hrs of gaming, it might be normal, depending on the game.

No gaming. Only Telegram, Google Chrome.

I am really disappointed with the battery performance of this phone and thinking of returning it...

In this case there's something wrong with your phone or you have an application that is getting your battery, you should see it in battery manager / consumption level.
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
at least try and find out first what might be causing this. otherwise u might find urself in the same exact situation on ur next phone cuz its an app ure using [emoji14] dont be lazy!

Sent from my Huawei Mate 8 NXT-AL10
[Mate 8 General] Koenvaneijk:
Trying a full factory reset right now.

The problem was that I was getting very low SOT (2,5-3hr max) on a single charge compared to other users in this thread.

The phone is not being used for any sort of gaming whatsoever. The only apps that were used were Google Maps for 20 minutes and Telegram/Chrome for the remainder of the time.

The highest consumption was performed by the Android and Android System services, followed by Google Account Manager. Does this indicate any sync issues? I only have one Google account signed in/attached with only sync of e-mail, contacts and calendar enabled (no backup, ...).

Can anyone please point me in the right direction identifying the culprit here? I would appreciate it a lot, because I am loving every aspect of this phone except for the battery life...

Hi guys,

I just got my mate 8 and the main reason for me to buy it has been the big battery.

However when I check it in Apps (cpu-z) it says I only have 3450 mah and not 4000mah. Is this normal?
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
um, where exactly does it list the mAh in cpu-z? when i check it, it only tells u the current voltage, i.e. 3770 mV...

Is my battery performance any good? :(

Hey guys,

I just recently got my Huawei Mate 8 NXT-L29 and compared to other people i am not getting exceptional battery life.

Could you guys please give me some feedback as to what i should do about improving my battery life.

Details:

wifi, gps, mobile data, bluetooth, auto sync, are always on.

4gb RAM

Only 4 apps protected in battery section (they are whatsapp, email etc)

I have uninstall every app that i do not use such as bloatware and installed nova launcher.

Current Firmware: NXT-L29C185B190 (stock right out of the box)

Usage:

I use google maps to navigate to and back from work consisting of a total of 1hr screen on time.

Check occasional emails, messages and calls when they come.

Watch a few 10min youtube videos.

That's all i pretty much use it for.

Why is it that android system is consuming 1000+ mah worth of battery? I suspect that i am losing more battery when the screen is off then when it is on and in use, however i could be wrong.

Should i upgrade my firmware to NXT-L29C185B320? I'm a bit afraid to do so but will do it if it does improve my battery life.

Off topic question:

Does anyone have the issue where when you are your phone with a micro usb cable and whilst touching the screen, experience the screen going crazy? Every time i plug in my phone to charge it, the screen is highly inaccurate in terms of its responsiveness.

Any help with any of what i mentioned would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance! :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[Mate 8 General] bejek:
I am kinda new here and never had anything else than 320 rom, so idk, but I have also more like 1 day battery life (max 2 with no gps and little usage). I have read a lot about 4 days in reviews, but the reality is not even close, maybe I'm also doing something wrong...

That clumsy behaviour during charging when you feel like retard is common issue and it's all about static electricity. Original charger should NOT be doing that. I have 3 chargers, one is ok, two of them make phone unusable when charging.
[Mate 8 General] lalala5042:
yea you're right about the static electricity part. i guess my charger is a bit faulty. After trying another charger the problem no long exists so thanks for that. i learnt something new haha :D

ill use my b190 a bit longer and if the battery doesn't improve ill take the risk and do an offical b320 update.

Will update if i see imorovements :)
[Mate 8 General] dante-fu:
Turn off the GPS. Turn it on only when you need it.

It's the second thing in consumption after the display. Especially when combined with Google location history.
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
yep, general rule of thumb is to switch everything off as long as u dont need it. that makes a huge difference in battery life in the long run!

Actually in able to see the best results it should be used for long hours, based on what I've heard.

Can someone tell how to test it until the battery runs down.

Like I can leave it behind, since I have also a daily job to do..

So I can test it out. Since they said b180 is the best when it comes to battery life, although I'm in b180 but can't reach that.

[Mate 8 General] dj69holland:
For those who are getting 10hrs + SOT, how many apps do you have installed, and how many are running. I have noticed a number of people running the same firmware but not getting the same sot..
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
ive got 150 system and user apps combined total. usage is pretty mixed, consisting of:

tapatalk / whatsapp / calls / web surfing / gps navigation & fitness tracking / mx player watching tv shows / little bit of youtube here and there / music via music folder player / public transport ticket booking & time tables / mobile banking and online shopping / some news reading

i think that about covers my main usage areas :) im not that much of a gamer on mobile, neither do i use any facebook, twitter, instagram, snapchat or social crapware like that, aside from whatsapp :D

edit: what i should probably add is that ive forced the cpu governor to powersave via kernel adiutor and also only enable gps, bluetooth, wifi, mobile data etc whenever i actually need them. lots of people out there set the high performance profile and switch everything on even when they dont need it, then they keep wondering why their SOT values are so low... ;)
